65 underclassmen are declaring for the 2012 NFL Draft, breaking the previous record of 56 underclassmen declaring for the draft, which was set last year. And it appears that many of these 65 players are making a wise decision, as the outstanding draft website, WalterFootball.Com, has 31 of the players (in a mock draft, updated January 18th) being selected in the top two rounds of the draft. Additionally, 13 of the players are projected to go in the top 20 picks, and the top five picks are all projected to be underclassmen. Pretty impressive.
